I'm a staff writer at The Ringer, where I write longform feature stories about sports, culture, and national affairs. I'm the author of the upcoming book LEAVING RAQQA, to be published in 2020 by Ballantine Books, an imprint of Random House.

I previously worked at Grantland and ESPN: The Magazine, and I've also written for The New York Times and Sports Illustrated, among others.

"Fade Route," listed by Sports Illustrated as one of the best pieces of journalism of 2016

I've reported in Sudan, Turkey, Ivory Coast, India, Israel, and Cameroon, as well as throughout the U.S. and Europe. I graduated from UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism in 2010. I currently live in Nashville, Tennessee.
